Proverbs
Proverbs 3:13–18 describes the person who finds wisdom as blessed. It values wisdom above silver, gold, and jewels, and associates her with long life, riches, honor, pleasant ways, and peace. The passage calls wisdom “a tree of life” to those who lay hold of her.
13Happy is the man who finds wisdom, The man who gets understanding.
14For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, The profit of it better than fine gold.
15She is more precious than rubies. None of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.
16Length of days is in her right hand. In her left hand are riches and honor.
17Her ways are ways of pleasantness. All her paths are peace.
18She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her. Happy is everyone who retains her.
